Hey Mick and Welcome!

Scrap Yard offers several different coatings and some double-cut and satin finishes. They don't offer every knife in every blade finish though. I think you can still order the S5 LE which is satin finished. Double-cut is a non reflective rougher satin finish - sort of like bead blasted to around 320/400.

Read the sticky thread at the top of the forum to see how their selling method works. The Dumpster Mutts must be bought off the secondary market as they aren't available any longer through Scrap Yard.

If you buy it from Scrap Yard it is authentic...If you buy it off of bladeForum you can feel pretty safe. I have never seen any fake Scrap Yards anywhere including E-Bay. Swamp Rat and Busse are more expensive knives made by the same folks. They are all excellent knives.

you are definitely in the right place. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
